We love the Playhouse pre-school, our daughter is well loved, cared for and supported by all the teachers! They do really cool things like go on bush days, visit Rymans (to brighten the residents’ days!) and set up really great activities at kindy.
My 3 yr old feels at home there and has made friends with all the other kids. We get regular updates on what the kids have been up to which I love 🙂 Thanks Playhouse!

After moving from the South, this was the first preschool we visited and right from the beginning, I had a strong instinct that my daughter would be happy here. I’m so glad to say that instinct was right. She really enjoying to go to school and has made good friends.

I recently moved to Pukekohe and sent my child to a few Kindy’s before this one…we all know the struggle of trying to find a great kindy. This is by far is the best kindy my child has ever been to, the teachers are actually caring, help you in the mornings, thoughtful, always changing activities for the children each day, the place is super clean and hygienic, and the manager is top notch. Deserves more than 5 stars, there’s ALOT of average kindys around, this is a beautiful place to send your child. Over the moon I found this place!
